Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has goaded rivals Arsenal, insisting his former club can’t handle the pressure at the top of the Premier League.

The north London neighbours meet at White Hart Lane tomorrow, with the Gunners looking to catch runaway leaders Chelsea, while Spurs attempt to narrow the gap on the top four.

But with Arsenal having been Premier League pacesetters up until just a few weeks ago, Adebayor believes the pressure has got to Arsene Wenger’s men and says none of their payers are willing to fight for the cause.

‘Arsenal are a good team when they have the ball. When they don’t, they are not that good. When you put them under pressure, they can’t handle it,’ said the striker.
